Connecticut Career Pathways Commission Members

“Connecticut’s long-term economic competitiveness depends on how well we prepare people for the jobs of the future. AI, automation, and global competition are reshaping work faster than ever.

We need a career pathways system that can learn, evolve, and respond — where students and jobseekers see the full arc of opportunity, employers help shape the programs that prepare their future workforce, and everyone from classrooms to campuses to companies is aligned around shared goals."

“This is a forward-looking initiative that puts Connecticut students and their futures at the center.

We have the talent, the educators, the leaders, and the partners to build the connective tissue between education, workforce, and community.

I’m honored to serve as Chair, and I look forward to collaborating across sectors to make Connecticut’s model the best in the country.”
